This is one of the most profound books I have ever read! In this tiny little book not only is the real meaning of Christmas explained, but the true meaning of life. This book should not just be skimmed through and considered a lite read. When read, the reader should see and understand the true depth of the book. It simply say's it all. If you can't understand the message the 1st time, read it again. I can't say enough about how wonderful this book truly is! NOTE TO PARENTS: Young teens will probably not enjoy this book. Most of them will not be able to comprehend the full depth of what the book actually means.

This book is exciting and sad at times.This books is good because they have real life situationsand and takes place around Christmas. This book is bad because there very boring pasrts andvery sad parts. I would consider people that don't like to read much to read this,because it is short has a story and a meaning. This book is a good book to read and dosen't take long. Over all I would give it a 7/10.

What is the meaning of Christmas and what was the first gift? This book reminds you of what is important and takes a look at yourself. This author has become my favorite and I can read one of his books in a whole setting. Everything else disappears when I am reading a book by Mr Evans. This book is a good one to pull out every Christmas and treasure.
Always have a box of kleenex handy because he writes from the heart. There isn't much to say about the story. Mr Evans shares a story about when his wife and himself with child relocated back to his hometown and moved into a mansion with an elderly lady. They made an agreement of light cooking and helping to living there and the agreement was enjoyed by all! However Mary becomes ill and you will have to read the book to find out the rest!
Enjoy!

"Heartwarming classics" are not my usual reading material, but I'd heard so much about this book (originally self-published) that curiosity prompted me to pick it up. The title story deserves all the praise it's received. The writing style has an old-fashioned cadence that's just right for the material, and the inspirational elements come naturally. This is a spiritual tale that avoids preaching, and steers clear of denominations while retaining its Christmas (not generic holiday) theme.
The companion tales, TIMEPIECE and THE LETTER, are longer and less satisfying. I came away from these wishing I'd stopped with THE CHRISTMAS BOX, and left the mystery behind it alone. Sometimes less is more - but another reader might well be delighted by "the rest of the story" of MaryAnne and her family.

The Christmas Box
ISBN: 0-684-81499-4
"It was simply a wooden box."
A woman named Mary needed help at her house but really only wanted company. The author of the book also the main character found the wooden box in Mary's attic one night. Mary is getting weird and not being herself. Is she hiding something? Find out it is right under the snow angel.
The Christmas Box is a very touching book. During the book your emotions change because the emotions of the characters change. This is a quick and easy book to read and probably good for eleven to twelve year olds and up because there are some hard concepts to understand. I would say that this book is good for the Christmas season because it is a touching story about Christmas. This book has brought me into the Christmas mood and has made it more enjoyable.
